By the author of Grounded The Case for Abolishing the United States Air Force From the moment when the launching of HMS Dreadnought made every capital ship in the world obsolete overnight we have been fascinated with these powerful surface combatants Here Robert M Farley looks at the history & folklore that makes these ships enduring symbols of national power
